Have A Picky Eater? Here Are 7 Of The Best Kids’ Menus In Boise

Every parent of a picky eater knows the daily struggle: what to cook or where to go that won’t lead to a mealtime meltdown? It’s not just about food; it’s about peace and sanity. Whether it’s breakfast, lunch, or dinner, making the “right” choice can feel like navigating a minefield of preferences.

You gotta eat your three square meals a day!

Let’s start with breakfast. You want something quick and nutritious, but the choices are slim when your child refuses anything but sugary cereals or plain toast. Eggs? No way. Smoothies? Not a chance. So, once again, it’s a safe bet like toast with butter or a waffle from the freezer. Sure, it’s not perfect, but it’s what works.

Next is lunch and the challenge continues. Sandwiches are a maybe, but only if it’s the right kind of bread with the crusts cut off, right? Mac and cheese sounds easy enough, but heaven forbid if it's the homemade kind, only the boxed version will do. Suddenly, something as simple as making lunch becomes a juggling act.

Oh - don't worry, we're not done.

When dinner time hits, the real debate begins: cook or go out? Going to a restaurant can be tricky with a picky eater in tow. Will they eat anything on the menu, or is it a night of ordering plain pasta yet again? Cooking at home seems safer, but preparing multiple meals to satisfy everyone can be exhausting.

The struggle is real, and while the options might feel limited, the key is patience. Eventually, even the pickiest eaters will expand their palate but until then... we have some of the best kids' menus to help you in your battle.
